Hosted by Punk Panther Endurance events, these races are not for the faint hearted! No stranger to putting in the effort over rough terrain is Eccleshill’s Annie Kisluk who took on the half marathon distance (and a little more). Setting off from the beautiful market Town of Skipton meaning “Sheep Town” in an old Northern dialect which is recorded in the doomsday book, this route takes in parts of the Dales High Way , River Aire Ultra and Pennine Way. On offer were multiple distances, in addition to the half marathon were 20 miles, 34 mile utra and 50 mile ultra races. For both the Ultra distances the beautiful Malham Tarn and spectacular Gordale Scar are visited with breath-taking views of the best of the Dales and are not to be missed.The 50 mile distance heads off after Gordale Scar and then joins the Pennine Way all the way to the peak of Pen-y–ghent ascending Fountains Fell along the wayDown into Horton in Ribblesdale you follow the Ribble Way back out onto the fells eventually returning to Malham Tarn and following the route of the River Aire back to Skipton. A near perfect morning for it with periods of Summersunshine interspersed with the odd light shower. Annie finished her run/walk of the race in 4:14:03 to earn a fantastic medal and tee shirt!
